I am very happy with this Grind & Brew Plus, in fact I cannot remember the last time I bought a coffee maker that I was really happy with until this one. It makes great coffee with the Craft side and i think better coffee in the Keurig side than my old Keurig did. This coffee maker on the Craft side can be used with whole beans or already ground coffee. And it looks great on the counter.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Works well. (1) Dual drip multi-cup carafe, with bean grinder option; and (2) single k-cup both are nice and useful. Controls are simple and become natural in a short time. Ability to see water level in left tank for carafe is nice, but would like it in right tank for k cup, not just low water level warning on display. Also would prefer if lid for right was attached/hinged. The unit is higher than older model without k-cup option, and requires a pull from under our older, lower cabinets so to refill with water or load beans. The good rubber feet mean lifting unit, so we put on thin sliders to help. Would have liked a back lit display for easier viewing, especially in low light. Our last version of this unit from Cuisinart lasted many years and is still going ("inherited" by our daughter for a first apartment). We have had this coffee maker for a couple of months and used every day -overall my wife and I are very happy with it. Time will tell if we get the same years from it that we did from the last, earlier model.

1. K cup water reservoir not removable and solid back so cannot see water level 2. Carafe light flashes if grinder is out (to dry, etc) 3. Buttons take some getting used to 4. Makes good coffee 5. Adjusts from mug to travel mug

I so want to give this 5 stars because it is ‘almost’ perfect. But three things keep me from doing it. First, why oh why can’t they put a water level indicator on the K-cup side? That’s really more where you need it than on the carafe side. Second, the ‘Bold’ setting won’t work if you are using the K-cup side; only with a carafe. Third, the unit allows you to take out the top of the cup holder on the K-cup side if you are using an extra tall coffee cup like a Yeti. But you have to tip the cup in and out of the hole. OK for going in, but if you fill the cup and then tip it to take it out you will likely spill hot coffee on your hands as I have done. It hurts. Other than that I love, love, love this. Especially the grinder.

As a combined drip and single serve coffee machine there is no issues. The grinder however does not completely ground all the beans. I found whole beans remained in the grinder cup.
